Project initiation defines the BSF project and forms the basis for managing and assessing the success of the project. The outcome of this stage is the project initiation document (PID). The PID will allow the project board to ensure the project has a sound basis before making a major commitment to the project. The PID IS a base document against which the project board and project manager can assess progress, change management and on-going viability. It is intended to be a ‘live’ document that will be updated and reviewed regularly. The PID should be approved by the project board - thus authorising the project team to proceed with the next stage of the project - and by PfS.
